This is where the world is heading:

>Borders will fade as international cooperation and trade increases.
>Religion will be phased out, as living standards increase and the need for superstitious comfort disappear.
>Bisexuality will become the norm, as old dogmas die.
>Work will be exclusively creative as automation leads to a level of productivity magnitudes higher than the present day.
>Smart computer systems will allocate resources according to need in harmony with the environment.
>The maintenance/improvement of this system will be done on a circulating basis by the entire population.
>Important societal changes will be guided by scientific data, and approved democratically by a regional voting system.
>Education will be seen as a life-long pursuit.
>People will have free access to transportation, and all utilities will be publicly available.
>Race becomes irrelevant as interbreeding continues. Genetic engineering will eventually eliminate all genetic defects
>Money will exist in some form, but mainly for luxury or non-essential goods and services.

Most relevant for the current political/economic climate:

>Isolationist and nationalist elements will become marginalized as nations/regions who cooperate will grow and develop at a much higher rate.
